Answer:

1.52s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Acceleration = 63m/s²

Final velocity = 96m/s

Unknown:

Time taken = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use one of the kinematics equation:

v = u + at

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time taken

So;

96 = 0 + 63t

t = 1.52s
